Re: II Samuel 12:31. Does the best rendering of the text support the
idea that David (1) enslaved the Rabbahites, setting them to work with
saws, iron threshing boards, and iron axes, and assigned them to
brickmaking, or, (2) that he tortured them with the above mentioned
instruments, prior to incinerating them?
